78. WILLIAM4 PERRY MCCLINTOCK (Francis3, Hugh2, Francis1). born circa 1817;377 married (first) HARRIET [—?—], born 18 June 1821; died 18 November 1857 (re her stone in Cherry Tree Presbyterian Cemetery);378 married (second) ELIZABETH JANE STEWART (Mrs. Jane Davidson), born 25 March 1831; died 15 November 1917 in Conneaut, Ashtabula County, Ohio; buried in the Blood family plot in the Glenwood Cemetery, Conneaut, Ohio.379

Elizabeth was listed as Bessie J. Stewart by Babcock (1919), page 981. Elizabeth Jane Stewart was a sister of Andrew A. Stewart, who married Margaret Jane Jamison, a sister of Hannah Rebecca Jamison Fleming, both being daughters of James and Elizabeth Lloyd Jamison—see #9 of “Jamisons” and also #4 of The Charles Stewart family of Cherrytree Township in the “Notes on Stewarts” section in The Oil Creek Flemings of Venango County, Pennsylvania, with related families, Volume 2. After William Perry McClintock died, date not known, Elizabeth Jane lived for awhile with her brother Jackson E. Stewart in Cherrytree Township. This is evident from statements in Jackson Stewart’s will, see #9 of The Charles Stewart family of Cherrytree Township in the “Notes on Stewarts” section.

There is an 1863 Orphans Court petition380 “to appoint guardian for Lydia Davidson.” Lydia was described as a minor child of James Davidson, of Cherrytree Township, “who left his wife about 11 years ago without just cause and she has not heard from him since … Shortly after James Davidson left, his wife delivered a daughter [Lydia], and her mother Jane Davidson is now married to W. P. McClintock.” Same day the Court appointed W. P. McClintock guardian. However, on 23 June 1865, Lydia A. Davidson, “daughter of James Davidson and Jane Davidson,” was back in court, petitioning the Court to appoint [another] guardian.381 The Court appointed John A. Stewart. He was a brother of Elizabeth Jane (Stewart) Davidson McClintock; born circa 1830–1835; died March 1901—see #5 of “The Charles Stewart family of Cherrytree Township” in “Notes on Stewarts” section in The Oil Creek Flemings of Venango County, Pennsylvania, with related families, Volume 2.

In the 1860 federal census for Cherrytree Township,382 William P. McClintock was enumerated with Alvira J. [another name for Elizabeth Jane or a census error] McClintock, age 30, Lawrence J. McClintock, age 17, (he was a son by William’s first wife, Harriett) and Lydia A., age 16 (but with no indication she was not a McClintock). There is an 1864 deed between William P. McClintock and wife Jane of Cherrytree Township, to Peter Benninghoff.383 In the 1870 federal census for Cherrytree Township,384 William’s wife was listed as E. J. and Lydia A. as Agnes Davidson (domestic), born circa 1853. I suspect strongly that this Agnes was the Lydia Davidson mentioned in the above deed. She was not enumerated with William and family in the 1880 federal census,385 at which time William was in Cornplanter Township.

I can only speculate on the James Davidson, first husband of Elizabeth Jane Stewart. Moses and Ann McClintock (a first cousin of William Perry McClintock) Davidson did have a son James Davidson, born circa 1828, who in 1850 was still living with his parents in Cornplanter Township—see #65, under Ann (McClintock) Davidson; no other information.

Apparently soon after selling land to Peter Benninghoff in 1864 (see above), William, Elizabeth Jane and family moved to Conneaut, Ashtabula County, Ohio. As will be shown later, William’s brother George W. McClintock also lived in Conneaut, at least in 1864. The 1870 federal census for Cherrytree Township lists their daughter Alice being born in Ohio. Elizabeth Jane (Stewart) Davidson McClintock had a brother James Stewart who died in Conneaut and a sister Angeline Stewart (see #3 and #8 of The Charles Stewart family of Cherrytree Township” in the “Notes on Stewarts” section of The Oil Creek Flemings of Venango County, Pennsylvania, with related families, Volume 2), who married Frank B. Blood (son of John Blood of Cornplanter Township) who moved to Conneaut.386

In 1850 Perry and first wife Harriet and family were living in Cherrytree Township;387 in 1860, Perry and “Alvira J.” and family were in Cherrytree Township, where he was listed as a shoemaker,388 presumably following his father’s trade. As indicated, the family was in Conneaut, Ohio, when their daughter Alice was born; but by 1870, William and second wife Elizabeth Jane and family were back in Venango County, living in Cherrytree Township,389 where William was enumerated as “keeping boarding house.” In about 1903, at least Elizabeth Jane (I do not have a death date for William; he probably died by 1903) was probably back in Conneaut, Ashtabula County, Ohio, living with her daughter Alice Bleasdale, as indicated in Elizabeth Jane’s obituary.

From Franklin (Pennsylvania) Public Library, obituary abstracts, Venango Citizen's Press (Franklin), 28 November 1917:
MCCLINTOCK, Mrs. Eliza Jane, aged 86, widow of the late Perry McClintock, died Nov. 15, 1917, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William Bleasdale, of Conneaut, Ohio. She was a daughter of Charles and Margaret Ferry Stewart, and was born at Cherrytree March 25, 1831. All but the last 14 years of her life was spent in that vicinity. She was the fifth child of a family of 11, of which only one remains, a brother, William A. Stewart, residing on the old farm. To this union three children were born, two daughters and one son–Mrs. L. A. Britton, of Cleveland, Ohio, Mrs. Alice Bleasdale, Conneaut, Ohio.
Children of William Perry and first wife, Harriet [—?—] McClintock:390

  186 i. Lawrence5 McClintock; born circa 1843. In 1860, he was enumerated with his father and his father’s second wife, Elizabeth Jane (as Alvira in 1860) in Cherrytree Township.391
  187 ii. Luther McClintock; born August 1848; died 28 February 1854, re his stone in Cherry Tree Cemetery.392
  188 iii. Harriet Miranda McClintock; born 30 April 1850; died 9 August 1851, re her stone in Cherry Tree Cemetery.393

Children of William P. and second wife Elizabeth Jane (Stewart) McClintock:394

  189 iv. Rosco McClintock; born March 1861 in Pennsylvania; married Ida M. [—?—]; born December 1864 in Pennsylvania. Known child in 1900, when Roscoe was listed as an oil well driller in Crafton, Pennsylvania, was (1) William G. McClintock, born July 1892 in Pennsylvania.395
  190 v. Rebecca McClintock; born circa 1861; married L. A. Britton, re Elizabeth Jane McClintock’s obituary.
  191 vi. Alice McClintock; born June 1865 in Ohio; married William Bleasdale, born February 1859 in Ohio. No children were listed in the 1900 and 1920 federal censuses, when William was listed as a ?P... Engineer.396

From Venango County Genealogical Club Newsletter, Fall 1989, Abstracts from the Titusville Herald, 29 November 1877, dateline Petroleum Centre, November 28: Accident on railroad bridge. Little Anna Eaton and Alice McClintock, ages 6 and 12 were crossing the railroad bridge this morning … Overtaken by train. Alice had a narrow escape but Anna was run over … She was the daughter of Morris Eaton, a well–known oil producer.

Probably this Alice McClintock was the Alice, daughter of William and Elizabeth Jane McClintock. At least the time and place would correlate with what we know of the family at that time.

Possibly another son of William and second wife Elizabeth Jane (Stewart) McClintock was William L. (or D.) McClintock. In 1880, a William McClintock, born circa 1860, was enumerated with Alice McClintock (his sister?), born circa 1863.397 However, there is a stone in Cherry Tree Cemetery: “William D. McClintock, son of William P? and Harriet McClintock”398—can not make out dates; possibly born 1848, died 1851. This conflict remains unresolved.399 There was a William L. McClintock, born February 1861, enumerated in Rome Township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, in 1900;400 his wife was Cora, born March 1862, and children Mary McClintock, born August 1886; George R. McClintock, born July 1889; Belle F. McClintock, born December 1891; Jennie B. McClintock, born February 1894; and Joseph B. McClintock, born August 1898. An online report401 on the Descendants of Wolphert Gerretse Van Kouwenhoven lists Cora Catherine Conover, daughter of Garret Bonham Conover, as marrying this William McClintock


80. GEORGE4 WASHINGTON MCCLINTOCK (Francis3, Hugh2, Francis1), born August 1819; died 30 March 1865 (according to his large and well preserved stone in Cherry Tree Cemetery); married in 1844 ANGELINE E. ESPY, born circa 1824.402 After the death of Washington, Angeline married Reverend [N.] Norton “presiding elder of the M. E. Church, Meadville District.”403 By 1880, the Reverend Norton was probably deceased when Angeline Norton was living in Meadville, Pennsylvania, with her step-sister Mary E. Norton, born circa 1844 in Pennsylvania. Also in the family was Angeline McClintock, born circa 1866, can not make out relationship.404

Apparently sometime in late 1863, George W. McClintock and possibly Angeline moved to Ashtabula County, Ohio. In September 1863, George W. and Angeline were still in Venango County.405 In December 1863 George W. McClintock (and probably Angeline) were in Conneaut, Ashtabula County, Ohio.406 In 1864, a land deed407 shows that George W. McClintock was still living in Conneaut: “the Central Petroleum County of New York to Angeline E. McClintock, wife of George W. McClintock of Conneaut, Ashtabula County, Ohio.”

George came into possession of his father’s oil–rich land (Maps 2 and 3) (see “Oil and Oil Creek Ancestors”). There are many deeds in the name of George W. and Angeline McClintock and a surprisingly large number where Angeline was the grantor or grantee. Perhaps this was due in part to George being in Ohio for a time and Angeline possibly remaining in Venango County. But for some, the reason is a mystery. In this regard, one deed indicates that in the 1850s George temporarily loss possession of his farm.408 This involved a case of fieri facias, [according to Black (1979), page 565, this is a writ of execution commanding the sheriff to levy and make the amount of a judgment from the goods and chattels of the judgment debtor] with Thomas Martin, high sheriff of Venango County, seizing “a certain tract of land in Cornplanter township, Venango County, containing two hundred acres more or less—bounded on the south by lands of M and ? Samuel Hays, east by James R. McClintock, south by Holland Land Company land, and in the west by Thomas Stevenson … [also seized were] improvements and the frame dwelling house, frame barn and sundry other buildings thereon erected, about sixty five acres cleared land and a large orchard . . .” This action was in response to the plaintiff, Adbury Dawson, attempting to recover a debt of $332.25 owed him by George W. McClintock and James Bannon.409 The reason for the debt was not mentioned. On 20 January 1855, the land and other goods and chattel were offered for sale at public auction. James R. McClintock, George’s brother, was the highest bidder at $142.26. On 1 February 1855, James sold the land and appurtenances back to Angeline McClintock (not George W.) for the same price, $142.26.410

Stone of George W. McClintock

Stone of George W. McClintock (1819-1865) in Cherrytree Presbyterian Cemetery, Venango County, Pennsylvania. Photo taken by Karen G. Rodgers (Oil City, Pennsylvania) in the 1990s.

Children of George Washington and Angeline (Espy) McClintock:

  192 i. William5 Denny McClintock; born 29 August 1849; died 12 September 1851, re his stone in Cherry Tree Cemetery.411 William was enumerated in the 1850 census for Cornplanter Township,412 Venango County, with parents and a Cassander (Caslander?) (female), with no indication she was not a McClintock, born circa 1823. Also in the household in 1850 was George Espy, born circa 1817, see later.
+   193 ii. Espy D. McClintock; born 12 November 1850 in Venango County; died 30 December 1879; buried in the Greendale Cemetery, Meadville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania; married Florence Davis. Probably she was the Mrs. Florence McClintock who married in 1883 George May.413

Possibly the Mary Espy who married George Washington McClintock’s brother Andrew Jackson McClintock (see below) was Angeline (Espy) McClintock’s sister. Angeline did have a brother, George P. Espy. From Venango News (no date): “Rev. Norton married to Mrs. McClintock, widow of Washington McClintock, formerly of Pet. Centre. Mrs. McClintock is a sister of George Espy.” George and Angeline’s father was Josiah Espy.414 George Espy was enumerated with Washington and Angeline McClintock in 1850. George P. Espy, born 1817; died 1894, married April 1853 Mary Jewell, born circa 1833.415 Mary Jewell’s parents were probably Eliakim and Catherine Jewell of Sandy Creek Township, Venango County.416 (For more information on Eliakim and Catherine Jewell, see end note # 416). George P. and Mary Jewell Espy had at least two children:417 Kate B. Espy, born circa 1859; married 20 March 1879 W. P. McCray418 of the Petroleum Center area,419 Cornplanter Township; and George B. Espy,420 born circa 1850.


81. ANDREW4 JACKSON MCCLINTOCK (Francis3, Hugh2, Francis1). born circa 1817 at what would become the Petroleum Center area; died 6 October 1889 (see obituary below); married (first) HARRIET [—?—], born 18 July 1821 Andrew married (second) 1847 MARY ESPY,421 born 26 March 1817; died 18 July 1847, re her stone in Cherry Tree Cemetery.422 Apparently there were no children by this union. Andrew Jackson McClintock married (third) LAURA JANE STERLING,423 born circa 182?; died 18 November 1897 in Cherry Tree village.424

In 1860, Andrew Jackson (called Jackson) was listed as an innkeeper;425 whereas in the 1850, 1870 and 1880 federal censuses for Cherrytree Township.426 Jackson was listed as a farmer. In 1864, “A. J. McClintock and Laura Jane his wife” sold land in Cherry Tree village to Martha Tarr, “wife of George (of John),” for $2000.427

Andrew Jackson McClintock’s obituary appeared in the Oil City Derrick, written by Jackson’s second born child, Maggie McClintock, obviously a loving and devoted daughter. The entire obituary is copied here.

From the Oil City Derrick, Friday Morning, October 11,1889:
In Memoriam
A. J. McClintock
A. J. McClintock departed this life on Sunday morning, October 6, 1889, at his home in Cherrytree, Pa., aged 68 years, 2 months, 18 days. He was born July 18, 1821, at the place now known as Petroleum Center. His father, Francis McClintock, was born April 4, 1775 and died at Petroleum Center January 16, 1847. His mother, Rachael Hardy, was born January 14, 1780, and died at Petroleum Centre July 31, 1848. Francis and Rachael McClintock were the parents of thirteen children, nine sons and four daughters, of which only one is still living, viz., Hamilton, of Nebraska. Father was married twice. He was first married to Miss Mary Espy, of Franklin. She died in 1847. He was again married to Miss Laura Jane Starling [Sterling?], November 2, 1848. To this union were born eight children, three sons and five daughters, viz., Mrs. Mary Benninghoff, of Greenville, Pa; Miss Maggie McClintock, the writer of this sketch; Mrs. Rachael Brinton, of Bradford; W. E. McClintock, of Titusville; John L. McClintock, of Petroleum Centre; Isaac McClintock, Mrs. Jessie Tracy, and Geo. W. McClintock, of Cherrytree. Father’s sickness began about two years ago with stomach trouble. Through the efforts of Dr. S. M. Bennehoof and Dr. J. L. Dunn, of Titusville, we hoped he would be cured. During the latter part of last Winter he was again attacked with the same disease, and ever since has been growing weaker. In July he began to fail rapidly. His children had all been summoned to make him a visit while he could converse with them and enjoy their society, which they did. On the evening of October 2 he asked those of his family who were with him to kneel by his bedside while he would offer a prayer, after which he asked Mrs. P. McClintock if she would offer prayer, which she did, in behalf of the suffering one and those of the family who were absent. Then he tried to sing his favorite hymn, “I’m going home to die no more.” His children were all present at the burial. I must here tender thanks to the friends and neighbors who took so much interest in trying to bring or send him some delicacies which they thought would be palatable to him. Father selected his own text to be used at his funeral, and requested that we should have Rev. O. C. Sherman, of Chapmanville, to attend the services. He selected the text, Job 1:21, “The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” Rev. Sherman preached an eloquent discourse to an appreciative audience, many of whom were from a distance. The sermon was full of the doctrine of Christ, and was well received by the congregation, a large portion of whom were from the immediate neighborhood and are believers in the more popular doctrines of the day. The choir did most excellent service in singing the hymns selected for the occasion, and they have the grateful thanks of all the children and friends for their ready willingness in performing their part of the funeral services. It was the desire of father for more than a month to be called to his long home, telling us several days before his decease, that the only medicine he wanted was his good will and a fervent prayer for his speedy departure. A few days before his departure I asked him if he wanted anything and he answered, I want to be delivered from earth and be at rest. His children and companion have the full assurance that he has been thus delivered an inhabitant of eternity, a child of the resurrection, a child of God, and equal unto the angels, having entered into eternal rest, the bliss and felicity of heaven.

Cherrytree, Pa., Oct. 8
Children of Andrew Jackson and third wife Laura Jane (Sterling) McClintock:428

+   194 i. Mary5 Matilda McClintock; born circa 1848 in Pennsylvania. Mary McClintock married 2 July 1873 Lewis Benninghoff, born circa 1851 in Pennsylvania.429
  195 ii. Margaret (Maggie) M. McClintock; born circa 1850; died 19 June 1905. The 1880 census lists her as a school teacher living with her parents. Maggie wrote the obituary of her father’s obituary, which appeared in the Oil City Derrick.

From Franklin (Pennsylvania) Public Library, obituary abstracts, Venango Citizen’s Press (Franklin), 22 June 1905, page 7:
Cherrytree, 19 June.
MCCLINTOCK, Miss Margaret, funeral in Carmany. She was a daughter of the late Jackson and Jane McClintock, and is survived by two sisters and three brothers; Mrs. Brinton of near Pittsburgh and Mrs. J. H. Tracey, of this place, Emerson, of Pittsburgh, John of Oil City and George of Kansas.
  196 iii. Rachel McClintock; born circa 1852; married [—?—] Brinton. In 1880, single and living with her parents, Rachel was enumerated as a mantumaker (dressmaker). In 1889, re her father’s obituary, Rachael was living in Bradford, McKean County, Pennsylvania.
  197 iv. William Emerson McClintock; born circa 1855 in Pennsylvania; married 10 February 1891 (in Oil City) Francis (Frances?) Matilda Higham, born October 1859 in New York state.430 Their marriage application lists both William and Frances from Oil City and reports Frances as divorced and her parents as Robert and Margaret Higham. William was listed as a driller. In 1889, re his father’s obituary, William was living in Titusville, Crawford County Pennsylvania. In 1900, William, Frances and family were living in Pittsburgh, Ward 15, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (page 10A), where William was enumerated as a clerk.
Children known from the 1900 federal census (all born in Pennsylvania):
(a) Florence McClintock, born October 1880.
(b) John D. McClintock, born December 1893.
(c) Nellie M. McClintock, born July 1898.
+   198 v. John L. McClintock; born circa 1858; married Ethel (Etta) M. Russell.
  199 vi. Isaac McClintock; born 1859. In 1889, Isaac was living in Cherrytree Township.
  200 vii. Jennifer (Jessie) Hannah McClintock; born August 1861 in Pennsylvania; died 28 October 1927 in Los Angeles, California; married James Hile Tracy, born August 1855 in Pennsylvania; died 19 December 1924 in Los Angeles, California. Both James and Jessie were enumerated with her parents in 1880 as Jessie Tracy, “dau. married,” and James H. [Hile431] Tracy, “son–in–law, wagon maker.” This James H. Tracy was apparently the James H. Tracy, born circa 1855, son of James Tracy, born circa 1825 in New York, and Margaret [—?—], born 1829 in New York.432 James H. Tracy was also related to the McClintocks, by marriage, through the Russells—see John L. and Etta (Russell) McClintock (#198). There was also a Miss Jessie McClintock, age 35 [i.e. born circa 1861], of Cherrytree, near Titusville; died 10 April 1896.433

James, an oil well contractor, Jessie and children Harley, James and Herbert were living in Cherrytree Township, Venango County in 1900 (page 8A). Also with the family in 1900 was Dana M. McClintock, “niece,” born November 1887 in Pennsylvania, and Louisa Tracy, born July 1897 in Pennsylvania; no relationship listed. According to Betty Karr Cordial, a direct descendant of James and Jessie (McClintock) Tracy, the family had moved to California after 1905 and before 1910, when James worked in the oil fields in the Coalinga, Taft, and Bakerfield areas.
Children of James and Jessie (McClintock) Tracy:433b
(a) Harley Emerson Tracy; born 8 May 1881 in Pennsylvania; died 12 April 1960 in Hemosa Beach, California; married Lulu M. Kelley. Harley worked in the oil fields in the United States and abroad, including Borneo.

Orian and Laura had six children, Mae, Luna R., Herbert J., Irene E., Betty C., and Orian Ralph, Jr. Betty Karr Cordial, a granddaughter of Orian and Laura, kindly provided most of the information on James and Jessie (McClintock) Tracy and descendants, and the wealth of information on the Benninghoffs, especially Reverend Harry B. Benninghoff and family—see #351.
  201 viii. George W. McClintock; born 17 October 1865; died 5 March 1912 in Tyro, Oklahoma; buried in Thayer (Kansas) Cemetery; married 31 May 1888 Susan Ketner of Cherrytree. The 1870 census, Cherrytree Township,434 lists George as being born in Ohio; whereas all his siblings are listed as born in Pennsylvania. In 1889 (when his father died), George was living in Cherrytree Township.

From Franklin (Pennsylvania) Public Library, obituary abstracts, Venango Citizen's Press (Franklin), 27 March 1912:
MCCLINTOCK, George W. died at his home in Tyro, Kan., after an illness of only six days with pneumonia, Mar. 5th, aged 46 years, 4 months and 19 days. His body was taken to his former home, Thayer, Kan., where the funeral took place on Thursday from the Presbyterian church, after which he was interred in the Thayer cemetery. He was the youngest son of A. J. and Jane McClintock, now deceased, of Cherrytree and a grandson of the late Francis McClintock, who settled on Oil Creek near what is now Petroleum Center in the year 1797. He went to the Kansas oil fields from Venango Co. 16 years ago. He was married to Miss Susie Ketner of Cherrytree, May 31 1888, who survives.


84. NANCY4 MCCLINTOCK (Francis3, Hugh2, Francis1). born 1824 in Pennsylvania.435 died 1858, buried in Fairview Cemetery, Pleasantville, Pennsylvania; married JAMES B. SKINNER,436 born 1818437 in Stuben, Oneida County, New York, died 26 June 1901 in Pleasantville, buried in Fairview Cemetery.438

After the death of Nancy (McClintock) Skinner, James B. married Sophia A. Hall,439 born 1828 in Massachusetts; died 28 May 1896 in Pleasantville, Venango County,440 buried in Fairview Cemetery, Pleasantville, Pennsylvania. In 1860 James B. was enumerated with his second wife, Sophia, in Cornplanter Township, Venango County.441

James B. Skinner’s (Jr., my designation) father was James B. Skinner (Sr., my designation) who died 27 August 1860; buried in the old burial grounds in Plumer, Cornplanter Township.442 James B. (Sr.) is discussed in more detail under Alexander McClintock (#77) who married James’ (Sr.) daughter Lucy Skinner.443 There was a James B. Skinner on the board of directors of the Citizens Bank of Pleasantville in 1871, and a J. B. Skinner on town council, Pleasantville in 1878.444 He would probably be the James B. Skinner who married Nancy McClintock.445

James B. and Sophia did not have children. 446 In 1860, James and Sophia were living by themselves in Pleasantville, Venango County, Pennsylvania (page 286), where James was listed as a retired farmer. James B. Skinner’s (Jr.) will447 mentions wife Sophia A. Skinner, sons John, Edwin and George L. Skinner, and brother Andrew Skinner. Mentioning his brother Andrew confirms that James B. Skinner was a son of the James B. Skinner who died 1860, see under Alexander McClintock. The will does not mention Nancy (McClintock) Skinner but does indicate a first wife: “… bequeath to my son George L. Skinner … and my large picture, with frame, of my first wife: . . .” Witnesses were James Connely and H. M. Haskell. Executors were to be son George L. Skinner and “friend” Thomas A. Morrison. Thomas A. Morrison would have been Judge Thomas Anderson Morrison of Pleasantville, a son of William and Elizabeth (McMasters) Morrison and grandson of Hugh and Isabella Wilson Morrison. A 5 April 1879 codicil to James B. Skinner’s will revoked Thomas A. Morrison as executor and added John L. Mattox of Oil City. It was in 1879 that Thomas A. Morrison moved out of the county—see #46 of “Morrisons” in The Oil Creek Flemings of Venango County, Pennsylvania, with related families, Volume 2.

Children of James B. and Nancy (McClintock) Skinner:448

  202 i. Gilbert5 Skinner; born 1842, died 1851, buried in Fairview Cemetery, Pleasantville, Pennsylvania.
+   203 ii. John Skinner; born 30 May 1844; married Anna Belle Anderson
  204 iii. Edwin Skinner; born circa 1846 in Pennsylvania, died 15 July 1932, buried in Fairview Cemetery, Pleasantville, Pennsylvania;449 married Emily [—?—], born 1853 in Pennsylvania, died 1929, buried in Fairview Cemetery. In 1900 Edwin (listed as Edward) and Emily were living Allegheny Township (probably Pleasantville), where Edwin was enumerated as a laborer on oil wells (page4A). Emily was reported not having children. In 1910, Edwin and Emily were living in Pleasantville, Venango County (page 5A), where Edwin was listed as a producer, oil business. Also with the family in 1910 was George Henderson, born circa 1865 in Pennsylvania (father born Pennsylvania, mother born in New York state), enumerated as a house painter. I can not place this George Henderson with our Hendersons.
  205 iv. Byron Skinner; born circa 1848, died 1851, buried in Fairview Cemetery, Pleasantville, Pennsylvania.
  206 v. unknown Skinner.450 /a>.
+   207 vi. George L. Skinner; born circa 1851; married Florence Hall.

Probably his most valuable and best known work is Walter McClintock, The Old North Trail or Life, Legends and Religion on the Blackfeet Indians (London: MacMillan and Co., 1910, 539 pages). The book (in paperback) is still available from book dealers, and there is an online version: (http://www.1st-hand-history.org/ONT/album1.html). Walter dedicated the book "To My Father whose interest and encouragement have been unfailing, the book is affectionately dedicated." In the Preface, Walter acknowledges his brother Norman for assistance in photographic matters and identification of birds. In the front matter is the often-reproduced painting The Sentinel: see (http://www.1st-hand-history.org/ONT/ONT00002i.jpg).
